At one point, she believed GMAT wasn’t for her. After scoring 595, self-doubt crept in and she questioned her potential. But instead of quitting, she made the right strategic changes. The result? A remarkable comeback to 695. Check out how Saakshi did it.

Receiving a "routine security review" notice from GMAC can be stressful, especially when you are eyeing application deadlines. However, it is a very common occurrence for the GMAT Focus Edition (online version).
Here is a breakdown of what this usually means and what you should expect.
Why this happens
Unlike the test center version, the online exam is recorded and monitored remotely. GMAC performs these reviews to ensure the integrity of the testing environment. It does not necessarily mean you did anything wrong.

Why this happens
Unlike the test center version, the online exam is recorded and monitored remotely. GMAC performs these reviews to ensure the integrity of the testing environment. It does not necessarily mean you did anything wrong.
Common triggers for a review include:
- Technical Glitches: If your internet connection flickered or the proctoring software lagged.
- Proctoring Flags: If you moved out of the camera frame, leaned too close to the screen, or were seen talking to yourself.
- Score Anomalies: A very high score or a significant jump from a previous attempt often triggers an automatic manual review.
- Random Selection: A percentage of exams are flagged completely at random for quality assurance.
- The Wait: The "20 business days" is a maximum estimate. Many test-takers receive their scores within 7 to 10 business days, but during peak application seasons, it can take the full four weeks.
- No News is Good News: As the email states, they will only contact you if they find a specific issue (like a video recording gap). If everything is fine, your score will simply appear in your account.
- Status on MBA.com: Your status will likely show as "Pending" or "Under Review."
- Score Release (Most Likely): The review finishes, no issues are found, and you get your official score report.
- Score Cancellation: In rare cases, if a serious policy violation is found (e.g., using an unauthorized device), the score is cancelled.
- Administrative Cancellation: If there was a technical failure on GMAC’s end that prevented them from verifying the session, they may cancel the score but provide a free retest voucher.
What you should do now
- Check your Deadlines: If you have an application due in the next two weeks, check the school's policy. Many schools will allow you to submit your application with a "Pending" status as long as you took the test before the deadline.
- Do Not Contact Support Yet: Reaching out before the 20 business days have passed usually results in a generic "please wait" response and does not speed up the process.
- Save the Email: Keep this notice as proof for admissions offices that your score is delayed due to administrative reasons, not because of a late test date.

Hi exoccaecati,
This is normal, and in most cases, nothing to worry about. Just hang in there for a bit longer. As the message mentions, reach out to them if your score isn't confirmed even after 20 days.
